    The course is very well put together in easy to understand stages with quizzes and videos from other students showing how they have dealt wit h these stages in their experience. Which builds confidence. These are included in other exercises like How to complete a reflective learning Journal and concepts like Kolbe's Learning Cycle. For me a Senior who is just in the shallows of online education it has been a worthwhile investment of time and effort.

    The course is very useful for me.

    I would love that the educators could be more engaging during the discussion session.

    I would certainly recommend this online course to other friends and even to my students. This opens my interest in learning more online courses with FutureLearn and the University of Leeds.

    A big thank you!

    It is a good reference to understanding where to improve your learning, it has good ways to confirm and test what I've learned though some steps weren't clear enough.

    A valuable and great course!

    Excellent for all students especially for those who are either mature students, returning to studies or from abroad and not encountered studying processes such as having a 'Reflective Portfolio'.

    A well designed course introducing you to ideas and techniques used in studying. I learnt about how important reflection is in learning and I need to work on this in my studies.

    Nice course. In fact, not only the student but everyone should learn how to do reflection in their daily life.
